Having a backup does not by itself show that a service can be restored when needed. Alongside the targets for acceptable data loss (RPO) and downtime (RTO), the recovery plan includes application dependencies and recovery order. Beyond technical procedures, it covers ownership and communication.
Scope of service
- Business impact analysis and prioritization of critical services
- RPO and RTO targets agreed in writing with business units
- Multi-AZ and, where justified, multi-region architecture decisions
- Backup and restore automation
- Failover runbooks and tabletop exercises
- Scheduled restore drills
- A documented recovery sequence and clearly assigned decision-making authority
How we validate the plan
RPO and RTO targets
We agree acceptable data loss and recovery time for each critical service with business units and design the backup architecture accordingly.
Scheduled restore drills
We rehearse the full recovery flow on a schedule, including DNS cutover, certificates, secondary-region secrets and decision authority.
Measurement and audit evidence
We record measured recovery time and data integrity, update the plan and produce evidence for ISO 22301 and SOC 2 compliance.
